Bug? Counters inherit chapter number
by Felix Ingram 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi all, This works as expected* (empty section title with "5 6 7 8" on the next line \definenumber[examplecounter] \setnumber[examplecounter]{5} \starttext \startsection \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] \stopsection \stoptext This does not: \definenumber[examplecounter] \setnumber[examplecounter]{5} \starttext \startchapter \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] \getnumber[examplecounter] \incrementnumber[examplecounter] \stopchapter \stoptext The second example has an empty chapter heading followed by "1. 1.1 1.2 1.3". This is on version: 2011.11.29. Apologies if this is has been addressed - I'm holding off updating until I've worked out some more features in my doc. Felix * As expected by me

ctxparskip is "Undefined control sequence" in project only
by Steffen Wolfrum 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi, here's another "Undefined control sequence" with recent beta: when using \ctxparskip in a project's component (see attached) the following error below pops up. (When running the same example as a stand-alone-file it works fine!) Steffen !

font-otn.lua:1809: attempt to index local 'chainlookup' (a nil value)
by Simo Ojala 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi, I am just trying to quickly report this without joining mailing list, hopefully it works. I am getting strange error reports with hebrew words and ConTeXt IV. Error is following: "error: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/font-otn.lua:1809: attempt to index local 'chainlookup' (a nil value)". My suspicion is that this could be some regression bug introduced to ConTeXt IV. This is because I could not think anything I have done wrong and my testing file is very simple. I also have earlier standalone ConTeXt IV that does not give this error. Exact details can be found from tex/stackexhange where I initially started to ask around. I post this thing here only to make sure that this catches the attention of the right people. Question in tex/stackexchange: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41052/hebrew-words-causes-strange-er… Thank you, Simo Ojala

separate publication lists for different publication types
by Eidenbenz Michael 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

hi all, is it possible to have separate publication lists for different publication types? eg. one list for the book, booklet, inbooks, manuals and the other list for article, conference, periodicals? I tried to define two different bibliography style files for each list, where I defined \setuppublicationlayout just for the desired types, but this doesn't work. either it gives me a blank line for an undefined record type or it takes the definition from somewhere else. thanks, michael

Bug in symb-ini.mkiv?
by Otared Kavian 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi Hans, With the latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2012.01.12 11:03 MKIV), typesetting a document which used to be typeset without problems I encounter an error which points to some commands defined in symb-ini.mkiv. However I can switch back to ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.29 18:47 MKIV in order to teypeset my document. Since the document is long and the macros I use are soemwhat complex (and maybe not very well written…), I cannot send you a minimal example which shows the problem. In any case, I wanted to let you know about the issue. The error message says: <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \symb_place_retry ...name \symb_place_indeed {:#1} \else #1\fi \symb_place_normal_c ...lace_retry \currentsymbol \fi \symb_place_normal_b ...else \symb_place_normal_c \fi <to be read again> \else and stops when an \item is encountered. Best regards: OK

Why doesn't his URL work?
by Gerben Wierda 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

This code below gets me a working URL, but instead of the word kudos in blue I get the entire URL in my text. Why is that? \setupcolors [state=start] \setupurl [color=blue] \setupinteraction [state=start,color=blue] \useURL[kudos][http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudos_(computerterm)][][kudos] \setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait] \starttext \url[kudos] \stoptext G

buffer mechanism changed
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

Hi, isn't it possible to use the short way? \definebuffer[MottoSieben] \startbuffer[MottoSieben] \stopbuffer[MottoSieben] % but shouldn't it also work like this: %\startMottoSieben %\stopMottoSieben % ??? \starttext test\footnote{note} text \stoptext Steffen

Syntax highlighting for C-code
by Richard Weickelt 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

Hi, I've tried to include some C-code into my document, but failed to enable syntax highlighting. Tested on: linux-64, context-2011.05.18 (same with the beta) stand-alone mkIV 1) \starttyping[option=C] just prints verbatim text. There seems to be no formatter for C out of the box. 2) t-vim did not work. It failed somewhere (unknown command sequence \installspacehandler) on loading (\usemodule[vim]) 3) http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Verbatim_text I tried to download pret-c and put it into the modules folder, but writing \installprettytype[C][C] failed, because it's not known (in mkIV). 4) mkII does not complain to exec \installprettytype[C][C], but this does not change anything either. \starttyping[option=C] seems to call a (maybe builtin?) formatter, but I could not get colors to work. I'm also lost in the documentation, because there are many places talking about syntax-highlighting. Does this thing work for anybody or is ist just my installation? Thanks Richard

footnote mechanism broken (3)
by Steffen Wolfrum 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

This one is even more disturbing: Just by setting the note's color to green, each footnote is set on a single page!!! \setupnote[footnote][textcolor=green]% <- without this line the notes are set right \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\input ward\footnote{just one line. a test footnote. just one line. a test footnote.}} \stoptext Steffen
